Regis Campaign Apocalypse day

Ok chaps as I brought up at the AGM last night I would like to run an Apocalypse day in July to mark the end of the campaign.
This thread is to work out the best day in that month to have one as well as getting a basic idea of how much people have to bring to the table.
Don’t want to set too much in stone as people will no doubt change faction and that before then but let’s get the ball rolling

It will be held on the 12th of July and hopefully be fought over a 24’x4’ table with defenders holding the middle of the table.

I want to see warmachines striding, grinding and gliding across the table, I want to see hordes or infantry swarming, charging across the table, massive tank battles and the general feel of the end of the world battle sort of thing.

Thanks to Jim coming to the rescue we got the use of an all-girls school over in Chichester and we can start as early as we want. Still need to have a think about times and brakes so will post that when I know more but get there for 8:00 and start play at 9:30 with a little luck and us all working together.

If you can’t make it at the very start then you can still take part as a sort of reserve element so long as we have an equal number of people for each side and you will be limited in points.

We get to use the school for free thanks to Jim but I am thinking of putting a charge to play in to encourage people to turn up once paid and to raise money for club.

I am thinking £10 for all days and £5 for part day players please post what you think.

Also if you can give an idea of the sort of points you can bring to the table and the number of superheavy’s you can muster as well. (not the type just if you have them or not) and then we can start to shape things up a bit.

Please remember we are very lucky to get to use this school for our game for free and it is Thanks to Jim. Please act respectfully (when non clube members are around) and leave the place in good shape………… cos we might want to do this next year

Ok so I have been reading the apocalypse rules and it states you don’t need to worry about points if you don’t want to and you can use everything in your collection so Tony could use his nids and his guard together if he wanted to. the only real limits are you can only have 1 of each unique character and units must be armed with what they got.
However it does state that the game organiser (in this case me)  can set limits for themed games and it is a good idea to have a idea of the points for each side.

so seeing as this apocalypse day is based around the campaign I would like to stick to a theme.
In this case I can see Orks and chaos teaming up on the same side vs Imperium with Eldar and necrons  fitting in where needs be.

As it is Apocalypse I guess we can have Unique characters but I ask to be limited to one per player and if you want to use the same as someone else then you wil have to sort it out between you before the game. you can also use relics but again no two people can use the same one so please sort that out with people in your faction.

That said this is all very much up in the air cos if we don’t get more people to take part I don’t really see this happening.


Ok so the plan is. (and this is a very basic plan and depended on people getting there bottoms in gear)

8:00 meet outside the Newtown

9:00 get to the school and start setup.

10:00 get the game rolling (round 1)

12:30 first brake (for lunch)

1:30 round 2

3:30 second brake(just a quick one)

4:00 round 3

6.30 brake for dinner

7:30 round 4

9:30 end game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
trying to keep a running tally of points per person per faction

imperial: ]11.5k] [5 super heavies]
Ryan [psychozero1] 4K (confirmed for the 12th)
Stephen [grey master] 5K [grey knights/imp knights][5 super heavies] (confirmed for the 12th)
James [eviljimsmonkey] 2.5K dark angles (confirmed for the 12th)


chaos/orks: ]5-6k] [1 super heavy]
Kyle [theredrat] 3-4k [1 super heavy] (confirmed for the 12th)
Adam [apacheflame] 2k (confirmed for the 12th)

eldar: ]5k] [4 super heavies]
Alex [BDA] 5k [up to 4 super heavies] (confirmed for the 12th)

Any Sunday is fine for me

Groovy, any idea of points?

Steal some bits off tony around 3-4k

Groovy that is a really good start ☺

Yes up for that and any day ok but can I field dark angels and blood angels together to give me 3 -4k. Hope to have a couple of storm ravens by then.

Well I got tyranids or IG about 2k of each i think

You can take just about whatever you got in a apocalypse game .

Please use the poll buttons to show days as it iww help a lot to go be a easy indexation of numbers and date

Ok chaps so far we have 3 people who can make the 12^th with 2-4k worth of points

 

This is not all that apocalyptic is it lol

 

Come on chaps let’s get some more responses

As I said already I voted but every Sunday is good my day off

your a good man Elvis and thanks for the vote
it is the rest of them that i was speaking to

As I suspect I'll be dying soon and making a new avatar/ picking a new army, I should be able to technically do about 3k points, maybe 4k at a stretch. And any day's fine with me so long as I know in advance, as I should be done with exams by then haha.

sweet thanks man good to know.
building up the points.
can you please vote kyle just so i dont forget to add you at the end.

once we have a good idea of points and factions we can start to plan a little better

The only real big thing I have in my collection in general is the Stompa, but as for more points wise, I could do Chaos with fallen Dark Angels/ cultist guard to make up more points.

good to know Kyle but i was wondering for what faction the points you already stated where for, is it Ork or imperial?

It's neither haha. Like I stated above, I've got stuff I can use as chaos, as well as normal chaos models as well, which should easily get to over 3000 points.

lol nice i will amend that.
would you be willing to lend or Orks to one of the Ork players if they take part?

I can make either 5th or 19th have voted for the 5th as its sooner lol. I can make 4000k of necrons Alex. Cannot do 12that all as working all day

Thanks for voting man, it is good to get an idea for dates. I got a number of ideas for games to boot that I will boss up soon for people to comment on

ok so the cunning plan for a 4'x24 gaming table.

the simple idea is to have the middle 12' act as a the defenders deployment zone holding out a city of some sort.
the 6' either side will be deployment zones for for the attacking factions.
we need to wait for points and players to come in but the current idea is to have it as imperial and eldar holding the city with necrons attacking from one side and chaos/orks attacking from the other end. things might swap around depending on factions involved.

in practice it will play as two 4'x12' tables that interact with both tables having 6 objectives but units and shots can travel between if you have range.

defenders can not deploy anything after the game starts unless it is via deep strike or flank march to show they are cut off. while the attacker can call on reserves as normal.
give us some feed back chaps
